In the lively land of South Carolina, where the Atlantic Ocean whispers secrets to the shoreline and the Blue Ridge Mountains wink at the sun, something fantastically unusual happens. A bunch of incredible kids, armed with hammers, nails, and vibrant imaginations, come together to explore the enchanting world of woodworking. They're not ordinary kids, oh no! They're often called the 'Whittling Whizz-kids of South Carolina' or the 'Sawdust Superstars.' One of these whizz-kids is a peculiar yet charming character named Billy the Biscuit Beard. Billy isn't your average ten-year-old - in fact, he sports a rather leathery-looking biscuit beard. Yes, a beard made entirely of biscuits! He wears it with pride and uses it as a secret weapon to fight his hunger pangs while working his magic on wood. Billy and his biscuit beard are famous throughout the state, known for creating the most extraordinary wooden wonders, from cuckoo clocks that crow like roosters to rocket ships ready to zoom into the galaxy. Along with the rest of the Sawdust Superstars, Billy spends his days in a vast workshop, where the smell of fresh pine mixes with the scent of ocean breeze. They carve, chisel, and sculpt, transforming pieces of wood into art. This wild group of woodworking whizz-kids know that in South Carolina, every chunk of wood has a secret story to tell, and they're just the right bunch to uncover it. So, the next time you're in the state famed for its peaches and southern charm, remember to look out for Billy the Biscuit Beard and his team of whirling woodworkers. They're a hilarious sight you won't want to miss!

For over 50 years, Frontier Camp has been dedicated to making disciples of Jesus by sharing God’s Word amidst the beauty of His creation. Since our founding in 1969, we’ve been licensed by the Texas Department of State Health Services and are proudly accredited by the American Camping Association. We’re also a member of the Christian Camping and Conference Association. Our mission is to use Christian camping and outdoor recreation as a means to support local churches in fulfilling the Great Commission—evangelizing people of all ages and discipling believers toward deeper maturity in Christ. Frontier Camp offers a dual ministry: during the summer, we host a 10-week youth camp, and throughout the rest of the year, we serve as a retreat facility for churches and like-minded religious organizations. Whether through summer camps or retreats, our goal remains the same: to expose people to Christ and encourage their spiritual growth through His Word and by reflecting His character in everything we do. While we provide top-notch recreation and exciting programming, the heart of our camp is the spiritual impact, rooted in the truth of God’s inerrant Word.
